Mombie – a bit of everything

Made myself go for a walk

The weather has been so crappy and the roads aren’t well-cleared so I was reluctant to get out for a walk today.

But I felt bad that Khalee was stuck in the house so I made myself go.

I don’t know if I felt any better but at least I didn’t feel guilty any more.

Sharing Stories

I had a great time leading a workshop about clothing-inspired stories today.

It was so fun to provide the space for people to create connections between ideas and to grow them into stories.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

I was proud to be able to help them with their stories.

And I was really pleased that my plan developed the way I hoped it would, that the exercises I chose provided a way for them to find a powerful story.

I can’t wait to do it again!

Before and After

A daytime photo of my patio last week, most of the ‘floor’ is clear and the top and bottom of the railing is exposed . There are just two bigger piles and a light layer of snow on it.
A nighttime photo of my patio completely covered with snow that is deep enough to reach 2/3 of the way up to the string of coloured lights on the rails.

Bad Weather…again

Over the next few days, we may have up to 80cm of snow.

I’m lucky enough that I have a warm, dry home to stay in, I have lots to eat, and I have good company, so I don’t have big complaints.

I just have small ones.

I was enjoying the fact that the snow was receding.

I was enjoying walks that weren’t slippery or very cold.

I wanted to feel like spring was coming soon.

But my biggest complaint is that I have a lot of work to do over the next few days.

If we’re going to have snow days, I wish I could just hang out with my family and enjoy them.
